Question 4 of 5
Which safety device is most restrictive for a client with dementia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The goal of care for clients with dementia is to maintain the highest level of functioning. When restraints must be used, the least restrictive type of restraint possible should be used. A lap tray over a wheelchair severely limits the client's mobility and can cause injury if the client tries to get out of the wheelchair. A walker can be very helpful to clients with dementia as they commonly have unsteady gaits. Childproof locks are helpful in preventing accidental contact with harmful substances. An electronic monitoring system is an effective way of managing a client who wanders.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is performing a neurologic assessment on a 1-day-old neonate. Which of the following findings would indicate possible asphyxia in utero? Select all that apply:
Correct Answer: C,D,F
Rationale: Failure of the toes to curl downward when the baby's soles are stroked and lack of response to a loud sound can be evidence that neurological damage from asphyxia has occurred. The normal responses would be that the toes curl downward with stroking and that the arms and legs extend in response to a loud noise. Weak, ineffective sucking is another sign of neurologic damage; a neonate should root and suck when the side of his cheek is stroked. A neonate should also grasp a person's finger when it's placed in the palm of his hand, do stepping movements when held upright with the soles touching a surface, and turn toward an object when his cheek is touched by it.
